Are you making your significant other crazy?



Recommended Posts

Hubby is awesome, and very supportive. So, when I ask him to indulge me with things like way too many trips to the mall and new (on sale) clothes and high heels that I normally wouldn't buy. He is encouraging and always has a smile. And when I have told him for the millionth time that day to look at how baggy these pants are he again smiles and agrees every time. Any sweet things your significant other does to support your efforts?

I could walk out every morning looking like an elephant or a skinny monkey and my husband would say Good Morning Beautiful! I simply have to be near him to feel like the most special and beautiful woman on earth. I wish every woman had this kind of love and acceptance, but he is number three. Number one of 20'years, greatest friend ever even though he never found his way home, number 2 four years almost was the death of me, but 25 years with number three warms my heart and soul in our twilight years. My children say Mom, you deserve him. I think so too.

My fiancé has been amazing. I'm 7 weeks post op and for the first 2-3 weeks, he was hardly eating anything cause he didn't want to make it hard for me. I had to practically force him to eat and assure him that I was fine around food. He never admitted that's what he was doing either. He just kept saying he wasn't hungry or had a big lunch at work. It was pretty cute. Like the above poster said, he would think I'm beautiful at 1000 pounds or 100 so that in itself has been hugely helpful in my journey cause I know that I have his support either way.

My partner is so supportive from being supportive of the original idea and being fine about me spending 20k on me

to asking me how I feel when I was unwell and if I needed anything and always celebrating the milestones with me mentioning how tiny I am now but mostly just being there for me always

if I didn't feel like making dinner he was fine with it he tried to make being around food easy for me and I owe everything to him because without a supportive encouraging partner this journey would not have been the success it is.

During my pre-op diet it was hard to cook dinner for the kids. My husband cooked for them and he would light a scented candle to offset the yummy smell of the dinner he was cooking.

3.5 years of listening to me go on and on about weight loss, Protein, and pretty much anything and everything WLS related. He has to be 100% sick and tired of me and the surgery by now, but he keeps that smile on his face and continues to tell me how proud he is of me. :D

He's been very supportive and to an extent, like the "food police". He is encouraging me to stay on liquids for a bit longer and not adding too many foods, even soft ones, into my diet yet.

I am only 3 weeks out and liquids do feel best in my belly for now. Also, he doesn't want me to blow it- to have gone through all of this and not succeed.

He says I talk about food a lot. I challenged him to go on an all liquid diet for 3 weeks and tell me food was not always on his mind!

So, he's been supportive, but also kind of annoying, mostly for my own good, though.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
